• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 24 1-2" balls
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
• 1⁄2 cup rolled oats
• 1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1⁄2 tablespoon molasses
• 2 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut
• 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut (for coating)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
• 1 tablespoon sugar (I substitute Xylitol)

directions

1. Combine everything except the extra cup of shredded coconut in a medium bowl. I like to use a knife instead of a spoon to combine.
2. Using fingers, roll into 1-2" balls and roll/press to coat in the coconut. Place in small muffin papers and refrigerate for at least an hour to firm up.
